life as a beauty intern

Dec 6, 2007

Of course there are many perks to being a CosmoGIRL! beauty intern—working in such a creative environment, getting an inside, hands-on look at how the magazine is put together—but what's even better is that last week, CosmoGIRL! sent me to my first event!

The event was MAC's unveiling of their new spring collection. I was not quite sure what to expect as I walked in, but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised.

The room was filled with people talking and eating; the scene looked more like a cocktail party than a work event! There were cute male models walking around with trays of breakfast hors d'oeuvres, coffee, tea and bottled water (I went with a bottle of water to keep my very nervous tongue from completely drying up in case anyone attempted to talk to me). But what really made the experience worthwhile is that the presentations given by the creative masterminds behind MAC's new collection really gave me a sense of what their new collection means to them—and should mean to us.

What I am trying to say is that hearing the story behind the collection set the make-up apart from all the other kinds that may look similar. It made this collection unique, and something that I want to be a part of. I have never seen make-up as such an art form as I did today and that makes me even more proud to say that I am a beauty intern!

So my gorgeous CG!s, any thoughts on what the new spring trends for make-up will be?
